Design features

HDDF seals consist of two identical metal sealing rings and two similar Belleville washers (cup springs) made of nitrile or fluoro rubber compounds, specifically developed for these seals (fig 1). The sealing rings are made of wear- and corrosion-resistant cast alloy and have finely finished sliding and sealing surfaces.

The Belleville washers of nitrile or fluoro rubber provide the necessary uniform face loading and effective sealing at the bore and outside diameters. The outside diameter of the washers adapts to the form of the bore in which they are installed. It is critical that the bore diameter and bore depth are in accordance with the dimensions listed in the product table. Adequate tolerances between the seal assembly and its mating component are critical to ensure a proper sealing performance.
